EDITOR’S NOTE

Milestone Moment Welcome to the issue that has been a quarter of a century in the making.

With this issue, we celebrate 25 years of Utah Style & Design, and we couldn’t be more excited. It’s hard to imagine that when publishers John and Margaret Mary Shuff signed off on our first issue in 1997 that the delight of living in Utah seemed an insiders’ secret. In those days, not many in the media were bragging up our beautiful homes and gardens and the talented pros that were designing and creating them. But we jumped in with both feet. During the past quarter of a century—including the last 20 years that I’ve been at the editorial helm—we’ve shouted from the rooftops (OK, from our pages and more recently also our website and socials) extolling the breadth and depth of Utah’s extraordinary architecture and interior design. Today, it comes as no surprise to us that both are revered far beyond our borders.

Certainly, the magazine in your hands (or aglow on your iPad) has evolved since our first issue. We’ve seen lots of changes and growth, not only in the world of

design, but also in this magnificent state we call home.

What hasn’t changed is our commitment to finding and featuring the very best design Utah and its talented creatives have to offer.

To kick off our anniversary celebration, we dusted off the archives for a story that spotlights 25 spirited spaces that have graced our pages over the years. Ready to revel in the past? We also focus on the now: the new and noteworthy in our Style File; tours of three spectacular homes from across the state; a stylist’s tips for decorating your rooms; plus much, much more. Thanks for joining us on our 25th anniversary. For us, it’s not the number of years that makes this milestone so special, but the number of talented people and special spaces we’ve met and shared along the way. We look forward to celebrating many more.

SERVES YOU RIGHT

Covered bowl by Montes Doggett, $80, O.C. Tanner Jewelers, SLC, octannerjewelers.com

SOUP’S ON During winter, few things are as satisfying as a bowl of soup or as comforting as making a simmering pot of your favorite recipe at home. It’s like a flavor-filled hug. Here are a few expert tips for making your homemade soup better than ever.

• BROWN YOUR FLAVOR BASE Always start by browning bones and veggies in butter or oil to caramelize the sugars and heighten the flavors.

• DEGLAZE EVERY PAN After sautéing, use a little wine or broth to deglaze the pan and add it to the pot.

• TOAST

YOUR SPICES Before using spices like curry, cumin or chile, toast them

32

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | W I N T E R 2 0 2 2

lightly in a single layer in a hot, dry pan to deepen their flavors and remove any raw taste.

• GIVE IT TIME Simmering soup reduces the liquid, thus concentrating the flavor. Don’t rush it.

• LET IT REST Soup is usually best when the flavors have time to marry.

Cover and refrigerate soup for a few hours or overnight.

Later, skim off any fat, bring

Blue Pheasant Bria soup bowl, $120/Set of 4, Anthropologie, SLC, anthropologie.com

the soup to a simmer and taste again before serving.

• FINISH WITH FRESHNESS Finish each serving with something fresh: a squeeze and slice of lime in black bean soup, chopped cilantro on tortilla soup, torn basil leaves on creamy tomato soup, sliced green onions on chili.

The list is long. The contrast of freshness sets off the cooked flavors.

WANDERLUST

ALPINE GETAWAY Hosting luxe vacations and weddings, staycays and elevated evenings out, Alta’s Snowpine Lodge is a mountain hot spot, all year round.

Atmosphere Located at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon twenty minutes outside of Salt Lake City, the 54room hotel (with additional bunk rooms) nods to Alta’s silver-mining past with rustic elements that team with luxe design details at every turn.

Brawny beams, wood floors, stacked stone fireplaces, and paneled and natural rock walls anchor the cozy décor. Meanwhile, original art, mountain-modern furnishings and comfy seating animate Insta-worthy lounges and nooks on every level. Stunning views fill the entire hotel through expansive windows. “Ours is a modern

take on the traditional ski lodge,” explains Brent Hall, director of sales & marketing.

Amenities Six treatment rooms compose the tranquil Stillwell spa along with a posh relaxation room and a serenely lit grotto replete with a plunge pool encased in granite walls. A yoga and fitness center add to the rejuvenating experience.

Swen’s Restaurant indulges with delicious, locally sourced fare, and nearby, The Gulch Pub cheers with creative cocktails and a relaxed, après-ski menu. Lounges host convivial gatherings and The Nest—a fully equipped game room—invites fun off-the-slopes competitions.

A heated outdoor pool treats guests to dips and breathtaking scenery.

Activities Outdoor activities make Snowpine Lodge a prized, year-round destination. Guests enjoy summer and shoulder-season hiking and biking as well as skiing and snowshoeing all winter long.

Go ahead and call it a comeback: Snowpine Lodge—the oldest building at Alta—has experienced numerous overhauls since 1939 when it first housed powderhounds bedding down at the base of the Alta’s soaring peaks.

Fast forward 83 years. Today, Snowpine is Alta’s only luxury lodge, following a recent $40 million revamp courtesy of owners Brent and Meg Pratt. The couple purchased the property as an investment as well as a spot to host their large, Alta-loving clan. Fortunately, the rest of us can enjoy the reimagined Lodge as well.

GARDENING

PRUNE “You want to prune or remove anything that has been dying to allow for new growth,” Meservy says. By cutting damaged leaves and stems, your plant will efficiently conserve energy throughout the winter.

AERATE When soil becomes too packed, it begins to repel water and plants are unable to pull nutrients out of the organic matter. Meservy suggests using a chopstick to gently lift and separate soil once a month.

MIST (OR NOT) “Not all plants like to be misted,” Meservy explains. The key is to research where your houseplant evolved and try to recreate that environment. Ferns, monsteras and pothos appreciate an extra layer of moisture while succulents prefer to be left alone during the colder winter months.

PROVIDE LESS WATER

Expert tips for nurturing your houseplants this winter Melinda Meservy

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | W I N T E R 2 0 2 2

Like many of nature’s creatures, your houseplants are enjoying an extended slumber during the winter season. And while you might start to notice foliage becoming sparse or dry, it’s actually plants’ way of saying: “Wake us up after Groundhog Day.” There are, however, some winter tasks for greenthumbed caretakers. Melinda Meservy, horticulturist and Thyme and Place shop owner, uses the word PAMPER to guide her wintertime houseplant care.

ETCETERA Etcetera involves keeping an eye out for common pests like spider mites and mealybugs that appear during the winter. “If you have pests, it usually means there has been some overwatering or there is no drainage,” she says.

REPOT You don’t have to repot your plants each year, and some species prefer to stay root-bound. But as your plants begin to wake up from hibernation, offer them new soil in a spacious pot to boost spring growth.

PAMPER YOUR PLANTS

During their winter dormancy, plants don’t need nearly as much water.

Scale back your watering schedule in accordance with each plant’s moisture needs. You should also refrain from fertilizing indoor foliage.

“Fertilizing a plant during the winter is like trying to force somebody to eat when they’re asleep,” says Meservy.

IN FULL BLOOM to put that creativity to work in 2022. “I’m finding potential in things that I had previously written off,” Nesbit explains. Include yesterday’s top picks among them. “There’s a resurgence of Old World florals including everything from gladioli and carnations to tulips and marigolds,” says Nesbit, touting the new and interesting varieties of these and other conventional blooms. “There’s more complexity being bred into them all.”

And that makes these new-found favorites ideal for the robust arrangements Nesbit designs today. “My work is reminiscent of old Dutch Master paintings with abundant, dramatic flowers all facing forward,” he says. The florist champions bigger blooms, richer colors and less foliage at a time when today’s ethereal, nature-inspired arrangements are all the rage. “I’m shying away from those and am looking for what’s next,” he explains.

On Vessels I favor simple materials like natural stone and terra-cotta that let the flowers do the talking.

On Dried Flowers They are hugely popular right now and I love them. I preserve many myself.

I love working with local growers. Every stem is unique and more interesting than many mass-marketed blooms.

NESBIT FOR THE WIN Floral designer Conner Nesbit dishes on his $100,000 win, globe-trotting assignments and a new-found obsession with Old World blooms.

Conner Nesbit is certainly more flush since pocketing the $100,000 grand prize awarded him as HBO Max’s first Full Bloom champion a year ago. He’s also a lot busier. Since winning the reality show design competition, the Layton-based florist has freelanced for colleagues on projects far and wide: a celebration at Utah’s Amangiri resort, a wedding in the mountains of Crested Butte, Colo. and a month-long series of affairs hosted along the dreamy coast of Lake Como, Italy. “This has a very experimental phase, working with other talented designers while exploring my own creativity,” he explains.

RESTORATION

Landmark DECISION Recently revived and reimagined, Amanda Knight Hall showcases the challenges and triumphs of historic renovation and preservation.

n the fall of 2021, Amanda Knight Hall—a historic women’s dormitory on the Brigham Young University campus—opened its doors to the public for the first time since it underwent an intensive renovation. The main hall, now wired with modern lighting that casts a warm glow on original wooden beams, arches and fireplace, represents the tenuous balance between preserving our collective history and building something new to meet modern needs.

David Amott with Preservation Utah was one of the driving forces behind the effort to restore Amanda Knight Hall. He attended the grand opening and was amazed at how many people turned out.

“The night of the grand opening, it belonged to the community. There were people who had made their memories of Amanda Knight Hall decades before but still had ties to that space.” Some were students that lived there when it was a dorm, others had learned a language there when it was a Missionary Training Center for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and others had older connections still. The grandson of the building’s architect attended and thanked everyone for saving and refurbishing the building. “He’s connected to his grandfather’s legacy, and he’s proud to see it still standing and part of so many lives,” says Amott.

As pleased as the community was with the renovation of the hall, the grand opening almost didn’t happen because, originally, Amanda Knight Hall was slated for demolition—a common fate for historic buildings. BYU planned to tear it down and build anew as it did with its sister building, Allen Hall. “Amanda Knight Hall is a particularly Utah building with a unique local story. If it were lost, it would have been hard to replicate,” says Amott.

Instead, a private real estate firm got involved and started renovations, but the challenges of saving Amanda Knight Hall from demolition and its eventual renovation are exemplary of the challenges in restoring many historic buildings.

RESTORATION

CALL IT A KNIGHT:

ARCHITECTURE THAT DEFINES AN ERA Amanda Knight Hall, built in 1939 as BYU’s first all-woman dormitory, was designed by architect Joseph Nelson and made to emulate the Gothic style of Ivy League universities. It was named after Amanda Knight, the wife of university benefactor Jesse Knight, who was responsible for many of the turn-of-the-century buildings we think of today as Provo’s historic heart. After making his fortune with mining ventures in Eureka, Knight moved to Provo, where he built his own home (the neoclassical style mansion set the trend for homes in Utah County at the turn of the century), the homes of family and friends and civic projects like the eponymous and distinctive Knight Block Building.

44

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | W I N T E R 2 0 2 2

The designer of the updated Amanda Knight Hall, Melody Welch of Welch Studio, recalls the building before they got to work: “It was a mess,” she says. Welch tried to retain and save every part of the original structure that she could, but not everything was salvageable. “Some of the flooring was covered in carpet.

We knew there was hard wood underneath, but we couldn’t salvage it because carpet glue was so strong.

It was kind of heartbreaking,” she recalls. There were some antique gems she was able to save, such as the crystal doorknobs, fireplaces and some original tile.

“They had this pink tile in the bathrooms,” says Welch.

“There was a lot of back and forth between contractor and partners about what to do with the pink tile. I absolutely loved it and fought to keep it.”

Retaining and salvaging is just one part of the puzzle for a designer handling a historical renovation.

Another is finding the space and comforts for modern inhabitants in a dated footprint. “We squeezed every inch of space out of that space,” Welch explains.

“There was an old maintenance shaft that we used as a shower in one of the units. I think we did a pretty good job with the puzzle of the building.” In the end, they created 13 units in the building, including single rooms and shared rooms, for a total of about 57 beds.

For the first time in decades, students attending BYU returned to live in Amanda Knight Hall and make their own memories of the place. “It’s fun to see it not dead anymore,” says Welch. “It’s all lit up inside.”

Despite the challenges, Welch welcomes the opportunity to preserve and renovate more historical buildings. “We want to save these buildings as pieces of history when we can because they get torn down every day,” she says. Amott explains that historic preservation is about more than saving old architecture and attractive buildings. “The goal should be to save buildings who tell us who we are, that speak to our identity and trace our past as individuals and as a society, no matter what they look like or what the architectural value might be,” he explains. His belief and the story of Amanda Knight Hall bring to mind the words of architect and preservationist William Murtagh: “At its best, preservation engages the past in a conversation with the present over a mutual concern for the future.”

CLOCKWISE: The centerpiece of this common room sitting area is a painting by Salt Lake City-based artist Jared Clark, whose father worked in Amanda Knight Hall when it was a Missionary Training Center.

That’s the look and feel LMK Interior Design principals Rion Locke and Richard Miller created for a mountain-ranch style home in Wolf Creek Ranch. The duo worked their magic with materials and treatments that are ”modern and rustic, dark and light, smooth and rough,” Miller explains.

In a Park City bedroom, natural textiles offer a sensory experience, creating the feel of being enveloped in luxurious comfort, designer Rachelle Johnson explains. “We love including shearling or Angora wool, mohair and bouclé fabrics to add that extra softness. Warm, dimmable lighting can replicate a firelight glow, casting evocative shadows on metal finishes, while subtle wall textiles can achieve a cocoonish ambiance.”

In a Deer Valley bedroom, designer Danielle Hickman teamed neutral tones and subtle, natural textures with crystal lamps, white bedding, a faux-fur throw and “snow-like” art hung above an elongated, tufted headboard. “This room emulates winter luxury,” she says.

“We wanted a mountain modern vibe using a neutral and inviting pallet,”says designer Lindy Allen, owner of Four Chairs Furniture & Design. She infused the ski-in, skiout cabin with elements that ramp up its cozy-factor: thick rugs, woven baskets, cushy pillows, warm wood tones and a lux throw. “It makes you want to snuggle in and relax.”

With woven throws and a tossed pillow or two, Becki Owens amps the cozy-factor of a quiet corner.

“I like to pair texture with neutral furnishings to make a space feel more comfortable and homier,” she says.

“When we design a cozy space, we like to incorporate different variations of texture in fabrics, woods and stone to add physical comfort and visual interest to a space,” says Alder & Tweed designer Morgan Veenendaal. “Mixing elements and layering is key to making textural elements work.” In this Park City bunk room, she mixes everything—fabrics, furs, wood, wallpaper, and even carpet “to reveal a highly luxurious yet cozy and youthful space to enjoy.”

It’s not about perfection or staging,” insists interior stylist Noelle Wright, who curates the charming details and finishing touches in many of your favorite décor photos. “Instead, it’s about helping elevate the look and luxury of a beautiful, lived-in space—one that draws you into the room and inserts you into the photograph,” she says. Wright shares tips to help you create and artfully arrange photo-worthy moments in your home, snapped or not.

FORAGE Head outdoors to find the fresh branches, flowers and foliage that add natural beauty to a setting. Arrangements and centerpieces don’t have to be expensive or elaborate to make an impact.

THINK BIG Interior by homeowner and stylist Noelle Wright

People tend to skimp and accessorize with pieces that are too small. One large piece is more visually powerful than lots of little things.

Wright loves big florals and branches for adding instant volume to a space.

MUSS THE PILLOWS Tablescape by Caitlin Creer Interiors

Interior by Four Chairs Furniture and Design

Don’t perfect your pillows. For an effortless, lived-in look, lay them on their sides, casually toss them or layer them loosely. And please, no karate-chopped propping.

HIT THE PRODUCE AISLE Fruits and vegetables can be as eye-catching as flowers. Consider adding a bowl of nectarines, basket of apples or tray of artichokes to deliver a pop of color and texture.

ADD SOME AGE No matter how modern or sleek a home is, add something old or used to introduce a piece of history and patina to the mix. Shop secondhand and antique stores for a one-of-a-kind find that adds timeworn charm.

EASE UP Relax the placement of furniture to suggest and encourage a comfortable, lived-in style. Pull the chair out from under the desk, open a dining chair away from the table or let the ottoman or stool wander away from its sidekick sofa.

THROW IN THE TOWEL Use textiles to soften any hard-edged décor.

Stack kitchen towels on a marble countertop, drape a throw across a sofa arm or hang a fluffy bath towel loosely from a hook—they all do the job effortlessly.

TREASURE HUNT For Noelle Wright, even the most modern homes should feature a found object or two.

HIT THE BOOKS Mix decorative objects with books on shelves. Lay books flat and use them as stages for favorite accessories, or display them with pages (rather than the spine) facing outward for an unexpected twist. For a casual, lived-in look, leave a book open on a table. A tall stack of books can even serve as an impromptu side table beside a favorite lounge chair.

MINGLE MATERIALS Mix materials to avoid a one-dimensional look. Wood bowls and boards, for example, instantly ease and elevate the style of a kitchen dominated by stone surfaces and metal appliances.

PULL IT TOGETHER Interior by Altalux Design

Design by House of Jade Interiors

Avoid the chaotic look of scattered objects. Gather small items into a single collection to create a focal point. Use trays, cutting boards and even stacked books to help anchor and confine grouped pieces.

GET REAL Use utilitarian items as eye-catching accessories and wall art. Ceramic bowls, old cutting boards, woven baskets and copper pots are just a few pieces that can add instant authenticity and character.

GO HIGH-LOW Combine fine and found pieces for a personalized look. Peruse high-end shops as well as secondhand stores to find the pieces for your curated mix.

SURPRISE WITH COLOR Introduce an unexpected shot of color. Wright loves to add a hot pink item to make a room come alive, whether it’s flowers, a pillow, a throw or even a book.

EDIT, EDIT, EDIT Wright says her job is to highlight a great décor, not detract from it. She will often style a space and then remove some of the elements to see if it looks and feels better with less. Remember, it’s important to let the details breathe. @noellewrightstyles

From its beginning, Utah Style & Design has celebrated inspiring design and the talented individuals who create it. This year marks our 25th anniversary, giving us yet another reason to raise our glasses to that special place we call home.

To kick off this milestone, we hit the archives and gathered, you guessed it, 25 memorable moments from the many stories that have graced our pages since 1997.

Some of these spaces are surprising, most are swoon-worthy and all are exceptional. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into the past and look forward, like us, to the remarkable style and design we’ll showcase in years to come.

A pair of Salt Lake City empty nesters wanting to flee cold and snowy winters found their escape just down the road—300 miles down, to be exact. St. George presented the perfect place to build their getaway home in the heart of southern Utah. “It’s a small town, it’s close to Las Vegas, and of course, there is the breathtaking landscape,” the man-ofthe-house explains.

The community of Kayenta in nearby Ivins turned out to be their sweet spot; more precisely, a one-acre desert property surrounded by stunning scenery. “The magical cliffs, the soaring red rocks and mountains in the distance offer 360-degree beauty,” the owner explains. Matt Marten agrees. “There’s no place like it,” says the principal designer of Gulch Design Group. He and his father Terry Marten— who developed Kayenta—are the visionaries behind and ardent advocates of the community’s allure. Homes live lightly on the land with low profiles, preserved open desert landscapes and architecture that melds into the terrain, al-

In the living room, floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of towering red rock cliffs and an inviting outdoor ramada behind the home. Interior designer Gregg Hodson clad the fireplace with vertical tiles and furnished the space with a mix of mid-century notables and contemporary pieces. A large plaid rug warms the scored concrete floor. Herman Miller Group furnishings—including a Noguchi coffee table, Geiger Crosshatch chairs, Hew side table and Hush chair—are from Henriksen Butler.

lowing its natural beauty to prevail. “It feels remote and we love the modern desert architecture that is so at home here,” says the husband, who, along with his wife, enlisted Marten to create the home’s architecture, Gregg Hodson to design the interiors and Paul Zabriskie to build the dwelling.

To link the house to its setting, Marten designed the site-specific structure to partially sit below the lot’s natural grade, allowing for elevated interior ceilings while complying with 13-foot exterior height restrictions to prevent structures from impeding on the landscape. Interior ceiling heights transition from 8 to 12 feet, creating a choreographed sense of compression and expansion as one moves through the house. Varied ceiling heights also assist in delineating the interior’s open living spaces. Strategically placed windows—many of which reach floor-to-ceiling—also help define living areas while framing views at every turn. “There are Hell’s Canyon red cliffs to the north and sloping greenery to the south and southwest,” Marten explains. “It’s like yin and yang.” Zabriskie agrees. “I don’t know where else you see this type of home,” he says. “It’s like living in a national park.”

The clean-lined, view-framing architecture not only connects the home to the land, but also sets the stage for the contemporary and modern furnishings its owners prize. “I love mid-century modern furniture and original pieces from designers who shaped modern furniture of the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s,” the husband says. Hodson also has a thing for midcentury furnishings and enthusiastically placed them in the house. “A modern desert home is ideal for these pieces. They play well with strong architecture, clean lines and the natural forms of the landscape,” he explains.

dining table, a Saarinen Tulip side table serves the office and a Noguchi coffee table anchors the main sitting area.

The name-dropping list is long. Many of these furnishings— as well as a number of the interior’s more contemporary pieces—are curved and rounded. “It’s a great way to soften the architecture’s strong lines and sharp corners, as long as you don’t overdo it,” Hodson explains.

accents and curated shots of color, the team crafted a backdrop of natural materials, neutral tones and warm woods.

Naturally finished concrete floors ground the rooms, while walls painted light beige amplify the interior’s light without appearing stark. “Because the wall color is warmer than white, it connects better to the landscape’s earthy hues,” Hodson says.

tones, organic woodgrains and strong contrast against light walls. The tile-clad fireplace and kitchen backsplash provide more contrast while large textured rugs, rich fabrics, lively accent colors and subdued woven wall coverings foster a sense of warmth and comfort.

“There is a luxury here, but it is understated,” says Hodson. “The look is simple but not cold, casual but not sloppy.”

Of course, luxury takes many forms. For the homeowners, their home’s luxe factor extends beyond its interior to the dazzling desert setting that inspired them to build in Kayenta from the start. “We love this place,” the husband says.

“We can’t pass by a window without being awestruck by the variety and beauty of the views.” Inside and out, they have found their place in the sun.

The allure of hilltop living is at an all-time high, as is the number of those seeking a private sanctuary in Utah’s spectacular mountains and ski towns.

A new house located in Park City’s Promontory resort community was created with them in mind.

The 7,160-square-foot spec home was collaboratively designed by K. Rocke Design, Inouye Design and Greg Young Construction with Keller Luxury Homes. Together they conceived bold architecture, dramatic rooflines and expansive windows to define the modern structure and to connect it to the viewladen site. Inside the home, designer Kristin Rocke orchestrated the interior’s finishes and fixtures to fashion an understated modern-meets-mountain backdrop that would allow any prospective home buyer to infuse personal style into the décor.

Quiet white walls, a dry-stacked stone fireplace, light-toned wood floors and sedate countertop materials are among the elements Rocke used to concoct the sophisticated, low-key canvas. It created an ideal jumping-off point for the texture-rich, neutral décor many mountain dwellers crave for their hilltop residences. But for this property’s new owners, it inspired something much more spirited.

“She’s a firecracker,” says Rocke of the bigpersonality client who purchased the house with her husband. “They both love to be energized and excited by their environments.” Rocke is no stranger

to working with dazzling hues and punchy patterns, so when the couple asked her to amp up their new digs, she was ready to roll.

Empty nesters with grown children and grandchildren, the owners craved color and high drama for their family getaway. Beige was not on the wish list. “This house could have gone a lot of directions and been successful,” says Rocke, who liberally spun her color wheel to enliven the entire home. With such a serene decorative backdrop, you’d might think full-throttle color would feel out of place. Not

so, Rocke insists. “A broad palette of bright, saturated colors holds well here because there is so much color in the sky and landscape.”

A mix of patterns, vivid colors and shapely forms enervates the main level’s open living spaces beneath a soaring butterfly ceiling clad in slatted poplar. In the living area, for example, vibrant vases and an array of splashy pillows accent larger color statements made by a curved, raspberryhued console and shapely teal sofa. Rocke tempered the exuberance with hits of black showing up on everything

“The powder room is very high-drama and sexy,” says Rocke, who positioned a stone floating vanity above a lower level devised for storage. The wallpaper is by Phillip Jeffries, glass tile is by AKDO and the gold sconces are by Kelly Wearstler for Visual Comfort.

from upholstered armchairs and charred wood coffee tables to a Kelly Wearstler chandelier and steel fireplace panels. “Black is a thread that helps hold the décor together,” Rocke explains.

In the nearby kitchen, black makes a jaw-dropping statement on new countertops and bookmatched backsplashes rendered in Panda marble.

Recessed lighting illuminates the walls’ striking stone. “It’s nature’s artwork,” Rocke says. Black recurs with thin, wire-framed pendant lights and the dining island’s weighty X table base. “A contrast in heavy and light elements prevents the black from being domineering,” the designer explains. Nearby, the dining area’s dazzling light fixture composed of crystal rods hangs above a dark table and a custom rug artfully crafted in rainbow-hued pieces of cowhide. “With an almost fragmented look, it picks up on the angles and colors of the décor,” Rocke says.

The designer didn’t save all of the surprises for the main living areas—far from it. In the butler’s pantry located behind the kitchen, Rocke covered the walls in emerald faux bois wallpaper and dressed the windows with blinds of vibrant blooms on black. The powder room is no less eye-popping.

“This is a more-is-more moment,” the designer explains. Gilded black wallpaper, shimmering glass tile and a floating, petrified wood stone vanity lead her list of scene-stealing players. “No surface went untouched,” she says.

Multi-colored bunny wallpaper animates the guest bathroom, where a light composed of blue and green handblown glass globes resembles bunches of grapes connected by fabric-covered swags. “We didn’t use a lot of restraint here,” Rocke jests. A teal-hued version of the same wallcovering dresses

And like a dialed-down take on the color-charged main-floor spaces, the lower level family room is equally detail-driven. Cristallo quartzite and combed plaster define the fireplace, Designers Guild pillows splash with color and a commissioned screen by artist Jimmi Toro performs like a space-defining art installation.

“Screens are great at segmenting space and creating intimacy,” Rocke says. Not surprisingly, this one also delivers big personality, not unlike the countless other details and features that define the mountain home’s drama-driven design.

FRESH TAKE

Thanks to an update by a trio of talented designers, a small Sugar House home is now filled with big personality and exuberant style.

In the living room, a large painting extends below the top of two reupholstered chairs to help anchor them to the décor. “It’s about the composition, not just the individual pieces,” says interior designer Suzanne Hall, who teamed with Jessica Bennett and McKinley Emmett to update and upgrade the interior.

OPPOSITE: Dressed in wood shingles and trimmed in white, Stacy Smith and husband Ben Johnson’s family home makes a charming statement in Salt Lake’s Sugar House neighborhood.

To be described as “approachable and easy to get along with” is rarely a bad thing, unless it refers to an interior and designer Suzanne Hall is doing the talking. “The décor felt pedestrian and formulaic,” says Hall, describing Stacy Smith and husband Ben Johnson’s Sugar House home. “It was not nearly as interesting or witty as its owners.” The family house lacked personal style as well as a comfortable layout, so Hall—V.P. of Design for Alice Lane Interiors— teamed with design principal Jessica Bennett and designer McKinley Emmett to propose a bold refresh and remodel.

Smith and Johnson eagerly embraced their ideas and, in return, got an updated family home that is as fashionable as it is functional.

“Over the years, we had done some superficial improvements, but definitely not a major overhaul,” says Smith, referring to the modestly sized, two-story abode her family has lived in for 14 years. The new redo included both structural and cosmetic changes that began with the outmoded kitchen and then flowed throughout the house.

“You always start with the kitchen; that is the heartbeat of the home,” Hall says. “It’s also the biggest investment.”

Plagued with small windows, clustered cabinetry at one end and a lone banquette at the other, the kitchen was awkward, imbalanced and decoratively dated. The designers transformed it with a functional floor plan and dazzling details. “Now it’s the star of the show,” Smith says.

The creative team reconfigured the kitchen and eliminated the work area’s galley-like formation. “The new layout makes all the difference,” Smith says. “It’s so functional and now I have a lot more fun cooking.” With the layout in order, the designers focused on filling the room

with natural light and fearless style. They framed the new range wall with corner windows fronted by open glass shelves. Upper cabinets are noticeably absent. “We like to have a wall without upper cabinets to widen a room,” Emmett says. A brass-knobbed Ilve range anchors the focal wall brilliantly. “It’s a big hero and deserves the moment it creates,” Hall explains. The dark green range inspired the sophisticated hue of similarly colored cabinetry fashioned with flat-fronts and brass inlays. “The blackened green color makes the room feel less like a kitchen and more like a gorgeous custom scene you’d expect out of a cool restaurant or bar,” Bennett explains. Agreeing, Hall adds, “We are in a design renaissance now. People are so exposed to everything, so we want to create things they haven’t seen.”

This innovative and imaginative approach fueled jaw-dropping kitchen details at every turn. A two-toned marble floor delivers stunning pattern and Mont Blanc quartzite turns the backsplash and countertops into “grand gestures,” Hall says. Because this kitchen—like most others—is a series of straight lines, rectangles and boxes on every plane, the designers introduced circular brass pendants, curved counter stools and roundedcorner brass cabinet inlays that “make the kitchen feel

“It is the crown jewel of this kitchen,” Hall says. The designers reoriented the freshly fashioned island to make better use of the space and to allow guests to sit and visit with the hosts while they cook. The Cara pendants are natural brass with white plaster shades.

Open shelves appear to float in front of new windows framing the Ilve range and dazzling, polished nickle-strapped hood. Mont Blanc quartzite dresses the entire wall in subdued rich color and pattern. “It’s a big sweeping moment in a sea of grids,” Hall explains.

custom and take the edge off,” Bennett explains. The team pulled no punches. “It’s big design for a small space,” Emmett says.

The transformation of the main level’s other spaces is no less remarkable. In the dining room, for example, the designers removed conventional crown molding and low wainscot to make space for chic vertical panels crafted from classic molding. “Applied finish work is one of the least expensive ways to elevate a décor,” Emmett explains.

Creating a lesson in tension, a “crisp” white-and-black photograph juxtaposes with the adjoining living area’s antique rug while a gilded iron chandelier hangs above a polished table for contrasting effect. “Yin and yang is important,” Hall explains. “If everything is the same, nothing gets celebrated.”

In the living room, the designers grounded a freshly furnished gathering space with an antique rug luxuriously layered upon a natural jute rug. A new sofa and eye-catch-

The designers worked Smith’s collected art pieces into the décor.

“We wanted to do a fresh take on the gallery wall by bending it around a corner both in the library and running up the stairs,” Bennett explains. Custom built-in shelves add display and storage space to the small library without cramping its style.

ing zebra-patterned accent chairs surround a surprisingly large coffee table. “Go big where you can in small rooms,” Hall suggests. “It makes them feel more gracious.” The TV hangs above a handsome fireplace reimagined with a black marble surround, creating a single focal point from the all-too-often competing elements. Sheer, floor-to-ceiling drapes visually raise the ceiling, and walls—painted a shade of warm white—enrich all of the home’s sophisticated living spaces. The small library, clad in brilliant teal, is a striking exception. “Enveloping a room in color makes it feel larger,” Hall explains.

Upstairs, the designers wrapped the primary bedroom in soft beige grasscloth and painted existing wall panels to match, melding them into the décor. “We didn’t want a distracting accent wall,” Hall explains. “A bedroom should be a hushed moment.” Beautifully draped windows, luxe bedding and a rug layered upon plush carpeting help ensure that this space is exactly that. “It’s as nice as any hotel,” Smith says. “It’s so indulgent.”

The remarkable redo proves just how big of a change good design can make in a small home. “This is definitely custom work and you have to find the right people to create it. The designers were amazing, and they brought the best craftsmen and artists to the project,” Smith says. “We couldn’t be happier with the results.”

waffle time

ANYTIME IS

Light and airy on the inside and golden and crispy on the outside—it’s the perfect waffle. Add unique toppings and you’ll have a new go-to for delicious, around-the-clock dishes, savory or sweet.

BY M A RY BROW N M A LOU F

T

Tired of the same old waffle toppings? Think beyond breakfastonly syrup and butter. How about some chicken hash topped with almonds, poached salmon with béarnaise, fat asparagus with hollandaise, sliced tomatoes with cheese sauce, scrambled eggs and caviar or...well, you get the idea. The options are endless. To begin, make a batch of waffles and freeze what you can’t eat right away. Then just pop a few in the toaster to refresh and pile high with one of our four tasty toppings or with a concoction of your own.

BASIC WAFFLE RECIPE Makes about 8, 7-inch light, crispy waffles 2 cups flour 1 Tbsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup dried buttermilk powder (available in most grocery stores) 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 cup sour cream 2 large eggs 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 1/4 cups unflavored soda water

104

Whisk together the dry ingredients, including buttermilk powder.

Combine sour cream, eggs, vanilla and oil in a separate bowl and mix well. Gently stir soda water into wet mixture. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in wet mix. Fold together with rubber spatula until barely combined. Do not over mix. Cook waffles according to waffle iron manufacturer’s directions, using about 1/3 cup batter per waffle.

Freeze any leftover waffles.

TOP NOTCH Think beyond syrup. These recipes prove there are many tasty ways to top a waffle.

DRIZZLED GRAPEFRUIT 1 grapefruit (room temperature) per waffle 1 tsp. brown sugar 2 tsp. butter Fresh mint garnish Section the grapefruit into a bowl and strain off the juice. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar until dissolved. Add the grapefruit juice and boil down rapidly until it’s barely syrupy. Top the waffle with the grapefruit, drizzle with the juice and sprinkle with chopped mint.

PROSCIUTTO AND PEAR For each waffle: 3-4 thin slices of prosciutto or speck About ¼ a pear, thinly sliced Sprig of thyme 1 tsp. apricot jam Arrange the ham on the waffle; top with a fan of pear slices.

Drizzle the pear lightly with apricot jam (thinned with a bit of hot water if necessary) and garnish with a sprig of thyme.

PEPPER AND EGGS

Scramble the eggs gently in the butter, place on the waffle, and top with pepper mixture and pinches of goat cheese. *Store extra topping in covered container in refrigerator up to two days.

SWEET CREAM CHEESE 3 oz. cream cheese ½ cup whipping cream 2 Tbsp. sugar ½ tsp. vanilla Fresh fruit Whip cream until soft peaks form.

Set aside. Beat cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until soft and light. Beat in whipped cream.

Plop on waffle with fresh berries or sliced peaches. *Store extra topping in covered container in refrigerator up to three days.
